Recruit Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING
Condition: Epidural Analgesia for Labour and Delivery
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Evaluation of M-mode Ultrasonography for Epidural Catheter Identification, and Correct Placement, in Obstetric Anesthesia
Brief Summary:
In France, 80% of women choose epidural analgesia for delivery and birth.The localization of the epidural space is classically achieved by loss of resistance to saline.This blind technique means the passage of the needle through the ligamentum flavum.However, epidural analgesia failure has been reported in 27-32% of cases.Currently, lumbar neuraxial ultrasound has become a valuable tool facilitating the placement of an epidural catheter.Although lumbar neuraxial ultrasound has been the source of many studies, few…
